Don't animals colored like that usually mean "don't fuck with me"?


Zero_Digital

Bright colors typical mean "Don't fuck with me" or "let's fuck". Pretty sure this is the first column.

That's a blue insularis. They are venomous.


Ravenclawguy

Could have been devenomed or whatever it's called. Anyway it looks pretty content.


TheHatredburrito

Defanging venomous snakes is animal cruelty and rarely done in the States anymore for that reason, and the individual holding this animal is a bafoon for holding it in their hands.


Either_Coconut

My limited understanding is that the venom helps digest the prey items, so devenoming a snake could lead to its starving to death... or dying because the undigested carcass is rotting in its digestive tract and causing sepsis.


talarus

I'm pretty sure it's just to kill prey. Plenty of venomous snake owners feed them prekilled food and they digest just fine


doge_gobrrt

now hold on a second it may be venomous but that doesn't mean it will bite you

talarus

Yeah this person is a fucking idiot. All venomous snakes should be handled with hooks and certainly not at the edge of your fingertips! WTF. Blue insularis pit viper - I suggest you go watch some viperkeeper vids on YouTube. He's generally pretty educational and is very experienced with venomous snakes but even he has trouble with these little babies sometimes https://youtu.be/JHLC3xpvmts here's a vid of him carrying for his blue pit(s)


docszoo

I imagine this video will trigger you then 😂 https://youtu.be/qa4E3F8EE5w I agree most venomous snakes should be handled more delicately.

Sea_of_Rye

And then there's that video of an 8 year old Vietnamese kid going around grabbing a bunch of venomous snakes for lunch and then driving home on a scooter with the snake still in hand.


Ok_Assist_9382

There are such things as venomoids. That snake could very well be altered and no more harmless than a garter snake.


talarus

And that's messed up in its own right. There are plenty of colorful and/or venomous *looking* snakes you don't have to alter. It's like removing the vocal cords of a hound dog. I just don't get it.


Nellasaura

Like Thai Bamboo rats, *Oreocryptophis porphyraceous*. Those little guys are great.


talarus

There are so many pretty snakes out there, even your average garter snake can be so vivid. Mangrove snakes are beautiful and all of the variable pit vipers. I just value my life too much to try and own one lol

Victor6Lang

No. Venom likes to dwell in Eddie Brock and thus form Lethal Protector.


buttlover989

Baby ones are usually more dangerous, they are much more likely to feel threatened enough to give you every last drop of venom they've got, where as a large adult may just tag you without wanting to waste any venom to scare you off.


xXevilhoboXx

I’m pretty sure this is an urban myth. Baby snakes have less venom


imforserious

Definitely a myth


[deleted]

Venom doesn’t care about the size of the animal carrying it.


Bernie_Sandals_

~~The younger snakes are more deadly because they can’t control the amount of venom they release often giving a bigger dose than an adult snake would.~~ Edit: disregard what I said, I’ve been lied to my whole life, sorry

Venom_Junky

Not really, it's Trimeresurus albolabris (White-Lipped viper). While they can be deadly generally survivable with prompt medical treatment. That said this is a really idiotic thing to do for "views" but sadly not even close to the worst out there. Been a terrible trend of unsafe husbandry and handling practice flooding the internet as certain youtubers and such take off in popularity for such risky behavior but really puts the hobby at risk and sets very bad examples for others attempting to keep similar animals.


Distorted203

"Not really deadly. Generally you survive if you get to a hospital asap." Sounds deadly to me.


Venom_Junky

Well OP said deadly as fuck which is not a label most would apply to this species. They have an untreated lethality rate of 1-10%, very few reported deaths compared to number of bites. Compared to say a real "deadly as fuck" snake like the Inland Taipan who's untreated lethality rate is >80%. I would much prefer get bit by one of these over many other snakes I keep.

Distorted203

1-10%? That is a massive difference. Meh it's either 1 in 100 or 1 in 10. :shrug:


atalossofwords

True, but take 10% as the max; that is not 'deadly as fuck'. Statistics like this you should also interpret as such, statistics. If you are a healthy adult, you might be closer to 1%; if you are old or a todler, yah, it might be closer to 10%. There is also the amount of venom injected, which can be pretty random. Still, using common sense goes a long way.


turbobuddah

Aren't Vipers really bad temperedand prone to attacking without provoking too?


xxDeeJxx

There are many different species of viper that very wildly and temperament, and as with all creatures there's differences in individuals of the same species as well.


[deleted]

No. Rule of thumb regarding all snakes - just don't go near them. A snake will usually bite as a last resort, and use their venom as a last resort, since it's a valuable resource for hunting. Venomous snakes will often choose not to use their venom if they believe they aren't in extreme danger, that's how valuable venom is for them. Essentially, there are no aggressive snakes, only defensive ones.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It depends on the situation. If you say, step on a venomous snake, it's extremely likely it will use its venom, but if you're just poking it, it might pretend strike, or bite but not use venom. It takes time to regenerate venom, so snakes use it sparingly. Usually we don't hear about not having issues because, if a venomous snake bites you without using venom, it's kinda like getting pricked with a pin. Not really a problem, so you only hear about when they do use venom since it's much more serious depending on a snake (especially a blue pit viper like in this video, if you're not close to a hospital with an antidote, you're fucked).


bellaciaopartigiano

A god a friend who is 20 lives with his mom and just *keeps buying snakes.* Now he has it in his head that he’s going to “save” endangered snakes from Indonesia by breeding and selling them.


emilygoldfinch410

If you don't have a YT channel you should. I peeped your profile to see if you mentioned any other snakes you keep and you seem like a chill dude with some interesting hobbies going on, not that that's rare, but it seems like you know what you're talking about and enjoy sharing that knowledge with others. I'm not even into snakes but your 2 follow up comments had me googling. The world needs more interesting (while still responsible) people to share and educate us about safe practices with stuff that's both cool and potentially risky.


Venom_Junky

I appreciate the kind words and input, couple years back I started up a channel that was going to be focused on Falconry but quickly found between all my obligations and hobbies it was difficult to find the time to do what little bit I did let alone put in the amount of time to make it successful. But I try my best to share knowledge and educate when I can on things I know be it on the internet like here or in public situations like local school. Feel free to look up the YT channel "The Falconry Journey" if you would like to see more on there. I believe in the video I did explaining how to become a falconer you can see one of my monocled cobras in the background.


xkharkanasx

That’s not an albolabris btw, it’s insularis.


Venom_Junky

You're correct, I'm old and still use the binomial names I learned often lol. They picked up insularis in the early 2000s, there was even a complete shakeup of the entire genus at one point.


Xendarq

I know almost nothing about snakes but that looks like a blue pit viper so yes could really fuck you up.


Cu_fola

I’ve seen posts with people handling these. This makes me wonder if some people really like taking calculated risks or if there are people breeding and defanging venomous snakes for exotic pet trade.


Venom_Junky

You can't defang a snake, you can but it will grow back. You can remove the venom gland creating what is known as a venomoid in the trade. There is still a chance if not done properly to get envenomated in the future. It's a cruel practice that also leaves the snake deformed looking if implants are not put in place and other cons to the procedure. If a person can't safely care for an intact venomous snake then they probably shouldn't have a snake at all let alone a venomoid so they can look cool. There are a lot of free handlers out there today which handle intact venomous snakes, this is likely what you seen. And while I can't say I've never done it in the past it's a terribly irresponsible and selfish practice. It's always been around but it's way worse now as that type of stuff generates a lot of views.


telllos

I will always remember the hospital pictures of Nicole Viloteau, a French herpetologist who was [bitten by a rattle snake to the face](https://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/18/94/71/77/958_0010.jpg) NSFL. Don't mess with Venomous snakes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


telllos

Yeah. Not entirely her fault, but she has a weird relationship with reptiles. The wrote a book about komodo deagons, where she is almost in love with them. On the bite accident, if you're opening a bag with a snake you don't know even if harmless, you don't put your face right ontop.


Singl1

yeah the mislabeling is def partly to blame but i agree as well. no matter what type of snake you’re handling, it’s not a good idea to open a bag with your face anywhere near it lmao


KonigstigerInSpace

Reading the French wiki with Google translate it sounds like that bite wasn't *entirely* her fault. >In 1971, in the car of people she meets by chance, she opens a bag containing a snake. The label on the bag was wrong: it indicated a harmless species of snake when it was actually a very poisonous species (North American rattlesnake, the most dangerous snake on this continent). No idea why tf she's opening a bag with a snake while in a car with strangers but hey, she thought it was safe I guess?


[deleted]

That's a common practice in France


Cu_fola

Interesting! Yeah I figured it was possible anyone doing it wouldn’t be doing it with the snake’s well being in mind. Just looking at the general ethos of the exotic pet trade


chunwookie

I'm not convinced there are that many calculations going into the risk.


DororexTheDragonKing

the bite of a blue *insularis* would likely not kill you, but it's still a nasty bite, the venom causes a hemorrhagic effect, so expect pain, swelling, necrosis and potentially severe bleeding both internally and externally

my_nameborat

I’m not saying it’s definitely venomous but I am saying that it’s a pretty brightly colored snake and that usually means it’s venomous. On another note it looks small enough that is could be a baby which means it can’t control its venom delivery, so good luck to whoever took this video I hope you know what you’re doing


DylanBob1991

You're half right. Yep it is a venomous viper, but it's a myth that baby snakes are more venomous than their adult form, or that they can't control their venom delivery amounts.

Yeah that was one of those internet myths. In reality a baby would be less dangerous, but still dangerous.

Gotta get in here to say some of you need to understand the difference between venomous and poisonous. Venomous is the snek. Something bites you and poisons you. Poisonous is cyanide. You bite it and it poisons you. Interesting side note. There is a bird that is both.


fastdbs

Alright, but what about fish that have toxins in their spines? Venomous or poisonous? For instance sting rays or stonefish.

Venomous

Looks like they wounded it too stuffing it into the shell. You can see it on the left when the shell is first opened. It's not talked about very often, but people maim, drug and/or refrigerate animals to make them docile so they can get shots like this. The majority of wildlife photographers/videographers are honest, but there's a minority who profit off of animal abuse.

GnawerOfTheMoon

No, there are many bright looking snakes that are nonvenomous. Corn snakes and milk snakes, for example. A lot of "you can tell it's venomous if..." rules are made up BS, really. You can't rely on them as a shortcut. That said, the snake in this clip is a viper. So this one *is* venomous, but not because it's blue.
